We’re hiring! We are looking for post docs, phd students, and a lab manager to build on these tools to automate synthetic biology, protein engineering, and deep mutational scanning of plant hormone signaling pathways.

Reach out if you’re interested! https://t.co/lCNbGGHkW4

Another reason North Carolina biotech is underrated:

They have a state-of-the-art lab, called BTEC, where students take *hands-on* courses in biomanufacturing. They learn to use bioreactors, engineer cells & purify drugs.

Very few U.S. schools seem to have this for students.

@ATinyGreenCell Are you doing any of your own plasmid nanopore sequencing? Or plasmidsaurus?

Friday shout-out to Dr. Chaisupa and Dr. Bryant from the Wright Lab @RClayWright for their successful Ph.D. defenses! Congratulations! 👏🎓

[Virginia Tech Translational Plant Sciences Center @VT_TPSC]

Congratulations to @RClayWright, for receiving the prestigious @NIH MIRA award in support of his innovative work in understanding and engineering common cellular signals, a critical mechanism shared across animals, plants, and fungi. 👏

@ATinyGreenCell https://t.co/EINkWt1Ew6 I still need to finish the cell growth section, but the Monod model of cell growth is very similar to Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics.
